Crisis-intervention counseling : an evaluation of long and short-term effects.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1985Description: 11 pSubject: Crisis-intervention counseling was implemented with hospitalized patients for whom illness or injury and hospitalization continued the crisis. Its long-term as well as short-term psychological effects were monitored. When compared with a biographically and psychologically similar sample who were not counseled, counseled patients on discharge from hospital showed the hypothesized short-term reductions in anxiety and in indirectly expressed anger. Although the findings for short-term effects provided some support for the use of crisis-intervention counseling to acheive immediate goals, the long-term effects suggested that it may have potential for acheiving primary prevention goals.
